Agnes BELIN

Shady Grove Cemetery
Bradley County,
Arkansas

July 18, 1897 - September 28, 1900

Daughter of W L & E O Belin

Agnes Harvey Belin, the sweet little daughter of Brother and Sister W. L. Belin of Jersey, Ark.,
came into their home July 18, 1897, drew a picture of her angelic features in the hearts and
memories of all who knew her and carried away in the arms of Jesus to the garden of His Paradise, Sept. 29, 1900. Agnes was a dear sweet little girl. She was loved and wooed by everyone who knew her and we cannot fully estimate the measure of attractive power which this sainted child held over her parents and relatives. Her love dawns down while the love of many
hearts rises up to her high throne. The holy influence of her love and affection touches not
single hearts, but the hearts of parents, grand-parents, great-grandparents, favorite friends
of which she had many. Every object in the house and round the home of Brother and Sister
Belin will bring to them thoughts of their angel in Heaven and every hasty search-errand to the drawer or trunk will expose to their view the clothes and play things which has left behind her to remind them that Heaven offers to them a greater inducement to "seek to enter in at the straight gate." Father and Mother, weep not, for Agnes is in the green, peaceful
bowers of Paradise. She is being led, fed and refreshed by the great Shephard of the sheep
and lambs, who was himself once a child, that he might sanctify the tender age of infancy and who in the days of His flesh, pressed infants to his bosom and speaking those comforting words, " suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not." Agnes and a few days before she died, "Jesus is Passing This Way, " and " Will the Waters be Chilly?" The smile
left on her face is one evidence that the "waters" were not "chilly" to her but that she had passed into the Elysian fields, where sickness, sorrow and death will have no more influence
over her precious little body.
